He shares his experience bringing brands to market for big companies like Unilever and LVHM's Moët Hennessy, and dives into his passion for developing the boutique craft alcohol selections seen in Tortoise and Volt's portfolio. Selections as eclectic as a Texas Hefeweizen Whiskey, a Midwest made American Vodka, and a ready-to-drink Old Fashioned named after a Revolutionary War icon. For anyone interested in his proven process going from concept to branding, to successful launch, this is the episode for you.
